Why a virtual appointment?

We get it. Not all pets are elated to go to the vet (although some of our patients strangely are!). Virtual appointments eliminate the stress of bringing your pet into the hospital.

We also know your time is valuable. A virtual appointment eliminates the need to take time out of your busy day to travel to the hospital.

Finally, in these exceptional circumstances surrounding COVID-19, virtual appointments are needed more than ever before to encourage social distancing while still getting your pets the medical attention they need.

How does it work?

Virtual appointment services may be used by any current or new client!

Our veterinarian will join the platform at the time of your appointment to initiate the consultation.

Our vet team is just one click away.

Virtual appointments are great for certain situations, such as:

skin issues

behaviour concerns

stable chronic illnesses

nutrition consults

triage (a.k.a. is an in-person visit really necessary?)

parasite prevention visits for dogs previously seen 6 months ago or less

On the flip side, there are some cases that cannot be dealt with through virtual appointments, such as:

injuries

toxin ingestion

“ain’t doing right” pets

unusual lumps or bumps

vaccinations

blood and urine testing

If you are not sure if your visit would qualify for a virtual appointment, please contact us to see what type of visit would work best for your pet. The current fee for a 15-minute virtual appointment is $65+ HST.

Please be assured that your private information will be protected during the interaction.
